Here is my take on the song:

"There's spiders in your room But there always will be" I think he is singing to someone who is very insecure...always scared, surrounded by 'spiders' or negativity.

There's people to be fooled And there always has been" He is saying they pretend to be strong in front of other and has always put up a brave-face.

"Hold out your hand Hold out your hand, I will carry you...come back to me." He is telling her that she can lean on him, and that they should try again as her insecurities made her leave.

"With your back to the wall You've got one place to fall" He is saying that she is playing it safe...scared of taking risks...like standing with your back against the wall so that you know where you will fall...if you were to fall

:Sometimes it's all Better unknown" He is telling her its sometimes better to leave things up to chance, see what happens.

"Every little piece Pulls in its own direction" She is unsure and her feelings scattered Please, love, don't be scared It's just your own reflection" Again she is insecure, scared of things which she need not be scared of
